Freezing a moment in a photograph can have magic for me. Composing them in a camera was a challenge, was a pleasure, a satisfaction. Especially when they could transport a message, although unspoken, open, maybe undefined, individual. My fascination with film had an additional and challenging aspect: the strength of moving pictures could be underlined by natural sounds, by music, by words, by people expressing their point of views. The creative possibilities to combine these elements to enforce each other could make a film more vivid, a more complete document of the time, could make it more touching. This was my aim: to give joy by a combination of information and pleasure, to transport a spirit, to draw attention to the beauty in nature, in people and their creations.
